Course overview
This course also helps students prepare to take the CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) exam — the vendor-neutral, methodology-neutral project credential for the person actually running the work. It is not tied to one framework: students learn predictive, agile and hybrid delivery and, more usefully, when each one fits.
What's included
14 itemsWhat you'll be able to do
10 objectives- Apply core project management concepts: roles, responsibilities, constraints and success criteria
- Work in predictive, agile and hybrid life cycles, and choose between them on the merits rather than habit
- Initiate a project: a charter, sponsor, stakeholder map and scope that survive contact with the business
- Plan schedule, cost, resource and quality, and build a baseline that is realistic enough to measure against
- Identify, assess and respond to risk before it turns into an issue
- Run change control so scope moves deliberately rather than quietly
- Communicate status to technical and non-technical audiences so problems surface while they are still cheap
- Handle vendors, procurement and the contract types a technical project runs into
- Work within the governance, compliance and data-handling constraints of a real IT environment
- Close a project properly: acceptance, operational handover, lessons learned and release of resources
The exam
- Exam PK0-005 — CompTIA Project+
- Vendor-neutral and methodology-neutral, and it does not expire — there is no continuing-education requirement to renew
- Project+ Voucher — an exam voucher for PK0-005 is available through thinQtank for $360 USD. Ask when you register and we will add it to your enrollment
Who it's for, and what you need first
Target Audience
- Technical staff who have inherited project work without the title
- Business analysts, coordinators and team leads formalising how they run delivery
- Project managers who need a vendor-neutral credential that is not tied to one methodology
- Anyone preparing to go on toward PMP or a similar professional credential
- Service members, veterans and military spouses using AF COOL, Army Credentialing Assistance, MyCAA or VET TEC 2.0
Prerequisites
- No certification is required to sit this exam
- Familiarity with a working IT environment — who does what, and how work reaches them
- CompTIA recommends six to twelve months managing projects in a technical environment. That is a recommendation, not a bar to entry — this camp is built to take a capable technical professional there
